Following are excerpts
from a Friday sermon delivered by Bahraini Ayatollah Issa Qassem, which
was posted on the Internet on January 20, 2012:
Issa Qassem: The
free women of this people suffer audacious affront to their honor, in
violation of the human sense of modesty, in transgression of their personal
liberties as well as the prohibition of Allah, and in disregard of the
honor of women. The foreign, mercenary anti-riot forces that patrol
the streets and alleys of our towns and villages, day and night, use
obscene and vulgar words against chaste women and innocent girls. Yes,
when facing a girl aged 9-10, or a woman aged 20-25, they use the most
deplorable words and the most disgraceful terms.
Crowd: Away with
humiliation!
Issa Qassem: Away
with humiliation!
Crowd: Away with
humiliation!
Issa Qassem: Away
with humiliation!
We are willing to die,
die, die for the sake of the honor of our women.
Crowd: We are
willing to die, die, die for the sake of the honor of our women.
We will kneel before
none but Allah.
We will kneel before
none but Allah.
We will kneel before
none but Allah.
Issa Qassem: Whenever
you encounter anyone transgressing the honor of a believing girl –
crush him!
Crowd: Away with
humiliation!
Issa Qassem: Away
with humiliation!
Crowd: Away with
humiliation!
Issa Qassem: Away
with humiliation!
Crowd: Away with
humiliation!
Issa Qassem: Away
with humiliation!
Yes, crush him!
Crowd:
We respond to your call, oh Hussein!
